many years and many theories have been proposed to
explain it. Craik and Loackhart (1972) have found
that pictures are always remembered better than
words. Swets and Birdsall (1967) on the other hand
have used the signal detection theory to try to
explain how the picture superiority effect could
be reversed. The signal detection theory states
